Is there a shortfall of parking in Downtown East Greenwich?

The Town is in the final stages of a comprehensive waterfront study of the shoreline area adjacent to East Greenwich Cove. The plan aims to assess the current conditions and recommend improvements to enhance the waterfront area in an effort to be more resilient, increase public access, and improve walkability.

Parking in the Main Street, Waterfront and Hill and Harbour areas of town tend to be difficult at times during the year. This does tell us that we have a vibrant community, but movement at certain times should be expected to be difficult. Help us in relooking at this challenge, compromises will need to be made, so keep an open mind as you look at this issue and the various opinions that will be brought forward in this community discussion.
